Modern Amenities

Edinburgh is one of Europe's most important financial centres, and as the seat of the Scottish Parliament, the capital is at the heart of British political and economic activity. Its Botanic Gardens bear comparison with those of Oxford and Cambridge; it houses the headquarters of Scottish Rugby; it is home to two of Scotland's leading soccer teams, and its principal shopping area, centred on the world- famous Princes Street, is one of the finest and most elegant in the country. All these factors make Edinburgh one of the most stimulating and, at the same time, safe and civilised cities in the world to live in.
